Anorexia in children often begins after illness. Because the child's appetite has not recovered, anxious parents urge their children to eat, hoping to make up for what they didn't eat when they were sick. In fact, it is the anxiety and urging of parents that make children lose their appetite. Many young parents don't want to eat, so they blow their beards and stare at their children and put vegetable rice in front of them. They fiercely ordered the children to finish eating within a certain period of time, otherwise they could not eat anything else, and then stood by like supervisors. As a result, there are two unpleasant situations. One is that children don't want to eat anything, and the other is that children swallow food with tears in their eyes. In fact, parents have neglected that children are more persistent than parents in the "struggle" of eating plates.
To eliminate children's bad habit of anorexia, parents should praise or criticize skillfully, instead of praising children for eating well and criticizing children for eating less. Never force a child to eat just because he is afraid of you. Parents should understand that they will only eat if they have an appetite. A pleasant dining environment helps to cultivate children's appetite and good dining speed. Constantly changing the variety of meals and adjusting the taste of cooking can arouse children's appetite. It is not appropriate to reprimand or abuse children loudly, or to leave them alone. To correct children's anorexia, parents should make full preparations, go through a process and implement it step by step in a planned way. Parents should find out the reasons for their children's anorexia. If they really have a bad appetite, they should encourage their children to eat reasonably by changing their tastes. After one or two adjustments, their appetite will gradually recover. If children are used to problems, parents should have enough patience to correct them. Don't be too hasty when eating, and don't scold them, otherwise the children will be in a bad mood and don't want to eat. Parents should gently tell their children the importance of cultivating good habits, set an example, and let their children gradually cultivate good habits in the process of eating. Don't bargain with children, and don't give gifts in exchange, otherwise it will cause new problems that are more difficult to correct.
In short, as long as the child is not a disease such as anorexia nervosa, parents should not care too much about the child's anorexia. They should turn their concern into wordless actions and do it patiently and amicably: give the child a chance, but leave no room. Let the children know that eating is eating without any additional conditions. I believe that in the pleasant atmosphere created by parents, the little guy who bothers you will soon become a "little tiger" that surprises you. This is the success of a qualified parent.
